Lise Davidsen in Athens

The Norwegian soprano’s first appearance in 2015 took the opera world by storm.

Hailed as opera’s newest big star, Norwegian soprano Lise Davidsen is coming to the Athens Concert Hall (megaron.gr) for a gala performance with the Athens State Orchestra, conducted by Kornilios Michailidis. The program includes selections that showcase the “thrilling power of her luminous voice,” as per The Economist, including from “La Traviata,” “Otello,” “Lohengrin” and “Tannhauser.”

The Norwegian soprano’s first appearance in 2015 took the opera world by storm. The three international awards she won in major competitions, opened wide the doors of the world’s greatest lyrical theatres for her, including the New York Metropolitan Opera, La Scala in Milan, the Vienna State Opera and the Covent Garden Royal Opera House in London. Since then, her career has taken off to new heights, with successive appearances in leading roles in major operas, participations as a soloist in symphonic concerts with leading orchestras, in tandem with a busy recording schedule. The star of a new diva has risen on the musical firmament, and we look forward to admiring it live for the first time in Greece.
